Day 1: Hello to Princess Farida Dahabiya - Start the Journey

As you step off your flight or bid farewell to your hotel lobby, our professional and hospitable team awaits, ready to whisk you away on a voyage fit for royalty. Picture yourself being greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service, setting the tone for the extraordinary adventure ahead.

It is Recommended to arrive to Aswan early morning (before 9.00 a.m.)

Begin your day with a warm welcome from your guide and driver at the pickup location in Aswan. Board your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and set off on a journey to the Aswan Sightseeing.

Morning tour to the beautiful city of Aswan

Aswan High Dam

Your first stop is the Aswan High Dam, an engineering marvel completed in the 1960s. The dam, which controls the flow of the Nile River and generates hydroelectric power, is a vital part of Egypt's infrastructure. As you stand on the dam, take in the impressive views of Lake Nasser on one side and the Nile River on the other.

Temple of Philae

Next, proceed to the Temple of Philae, one of the most beautiful temples in Egypt, dedicated to the goddess Isis. The temple complex was relocated to Agilkia Island to save it from the rising waters of the Nile after the construction of the Aswan High Dam. Take a short, scenic boat ride to the island, where you'll be greeted by the majestic sight of the temple rising from the water.

After doing the tours of Aswan, you will be transferred to the Dahabiya for Embarkation & Check in.

Gebel El Selsela was not only a quarry but also a place of religious significance, with shrines and chapels cut into the rock.

Visit to Edfu Temple

Continue your day on board your Dahabiya as you sail towards Edfu, enjoying the tranquil scenery of the Nile River. Upon arrival in Edfu, disembark from your Dahabiya.
